Welcome to the XRAY T4'16 Thread & Wikipost! Here you will find some useful info, tips and tricks as well as setups that are used by several team drivers. This wikipost is a work in progress and should continue to develop over time.

New Graphite Hubs:
Xray have recently released some additional Graphite hubs for the T4 lineup. The 4° Graphite C-Hub has been out for some time and is known to improve steering on entry, and in general makes the car turn better. This has been the go-to c-hub on asphalt for many on the Xray team, though it is not needed on high bite carpet. The Graphite rear hub tends to make the car more stable, especially on corner entry. We are still working on gathering input on the new Graphite steering block, but for the moment feel that it should improve steering response. All Graphite parts are approximately 1g lighter than the Hard or Medium options.

It's no surprise its more expensive. Whole sellers and manufacture's see the writing on the wall. Between people willing to pay massive amounts of money for the awesomatix, and try extreme popularity / market share of X-ray, combine those two factors together and X-ray can charge almost anything they want.

They make a great product, and know it. They also know they have a loyal following that wil drink the X-ray cool aid no matter what. They could release an x1 with a lipo chassis and orange anodizing, call it the t5 and the RC world would call in innovative.
